Synopsis "Hamlet (in Spanish)"

Taking place in Denmark, this play tells how Prince Hamlet carries out his revenge on his uncle Claudio, who had killed his father, the king, married his mother, Gertrudis, and flaunted the Danish crown. This work is vividly traced around madness and explores issues such as treason, revenge, incest and moral corruption.Situada en Dinamarca, esta obra teatral relata como el principe Hamlet lleva a cabo su venganza sobre su tio Claudio, quien asesinase a su padre, el rey, casandose con su madre, Gertrudis, y ostentando la corona de Dinamarca. La obra se traza vividamente alrededor de la locura (tanto real como fingida) y en ella se percibe el transcurso en el animo del principe del profundo dolor a la desmesurada ira. Ademas explora los temas de la traicion, la venganza, el incesto y la corrupcion moral."

William Shakespeare (Stratford-upon-Avon, c. April 23, 1564jul. - Ibid., April 23/May 3, 1616) was an English playwright, poet, and actor. Often known as the Bard of Avon (or simply the Bard), he is considered the most important writer in the English language and one of the most famous in world literature.

According to the Encyclopædia Britannica, "Shakespeare is generally acknowledged as the greatest of all time writers, a unique figure in the history of literature. The fame of other poets, such as Homer and Dante Alighieri, or novelists such as Leo Tolstoy or Charles Dickens, has transcended national barriers, but none has achieved the reputation of Shakespeare, whose works today are read and performed more frequently and in more countries than ever. The prophecy of one of his great contemporaries, Ben Jonson, has thus been fulfilled: 'Shakespeare does not belong to one age but to eternity'".

Among his most notable works are Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. His ability to portray the complexities of human nature, along with his mastery in the use of verse and language, has made him a timeless figure.
